There's a lot more to running than getting up and going (although that's usually a good first step).
There's... 1) Stretching properly 2) Warming up 3) Form 4) Proper breathing pattern 5) Cooling down 6) Stretching properly again
Then there's concerns about to eat or drink before or after you run, especially making sure you don't drown your brain in water by drinking too much liquid without the necessary electrolytes. You have to watch out for running on too humid of days, running on pavement/cement/grass, running on slanted roads (pulled my illiotobial band in high school because of that once), being safe while running with vehicles passing, dealing with running related injuries, etc.
And this is just an incomplete list of things to keep in mind.
I can't imagine that emails with unlimted attachment size would be supported. I could send whole ISOs to myself and use Google's servers as my own personal free storage space otherwise. My guess (I didn't get much else from the CNet article), is that either there's going to be some type of traffic cap per day/week/month etc, some maximum size on attachments, or some other system put in place to curtail this. Otherwise, Google's probably going to be in a world of hurt when nefarious people decide to take advantage of the system.
The sad thing is, the people who would exploit Google's offering will also be whining when the service has to be terminated or severely restricted because of their abusive behavior.
As always, there's probably more to the story - time will tell.
"Unlawful" - definitely meets this word. "force or violence" - sort of like forced entry into their tv system and forcing the system do something they weren't suppose to do... I'll buy it. "against people or property" - seems to meet "intention of intimidating or coercing" - I think this is where the application fails.
The guy wasn't trying to intimidate or coerce someone into doing something - he just wanted to be an a**hole. The ramifications on the 911 system effect public safety, no doubt, but that doesn't make it terrorism. That word means next to nothing anymore, other than something happened/is happening that you don't like. For example, did you know that the NEA, a union of teachers was called a terrorist group by Rod Paige, the Education Security for President Bush?
Can we use words that describe the situation instead of words that invoke powerful yet completely unrelated images?
Really. Look at all the Linux. BSD, and the other *nix distros and all the software that runs between them on different platforms with different packaging systems. I think it's messy at best, but in a world with more than one *major* operating system, the solution is standards.
Look at the automobile - tons of competing car companies making different cars, but they all have some standardized equipment customized in a little different way not to radically change the entire experience. Open standards would kill Microsoft (or at least knock them off their behemoth perch), and they know it.
It's sort of the idea that Federal action is better than State action - why worry about 50 different actors doing their own thing (hint: innovating) when the federal government can just fiat whatever they want.

I guess Cypher was right. Although I guess imagine the analogous alternate story:
"Because of the internet's recent collapse because of massive slashdotting, the whole world was left to wonder how they would ever find out how to get from their house to the nearest blockbuster without Mapquest or how to do a research project without Google."
Perhaps people who can't handle too much information should stay away from the internet before they freak themselves out. One hundred years ago, someone could have written how a Library had the same effect, bringing all that information in one place to freak people out who are easily freaked out.
I'm pretty sure "Bipolar Paranoid Schizophrenic" (now spelled correctly) is a prerec for being a professor, so I'm not sure what he's complaining about.

It's pretty easy to see what they can do - embed a microsoft search function into the toolbar sort of like how Safari does it with Google right now. Then, they can "accidentally" make Google's website not render correctly in future releases of IE. I think this time they're going to find that people are going to get really pissed off and instead of switching to Microsoft's service they're going to find a web browser that does work with Google correctly.
Sure iTMS did sell a lot in a short period of time. Unfortunately, your comparison makes little sense unless the sizes of the population using the two services were comparable. You're not trying to say that the Mac OS X population is equivalent to that of a Big Ten College population, are you?
Wow, either that's a bad translation, or Peter talked himself in circles like 8 times. I guess he wanted to make it clear that they don't use MPlayer directly... as if that really mattered. Instead of answering a question with an answer, he kept saying they were looking into it and investigating. Now that's okay for a one or two line answer, but he kept saying it over and over and over again. It really sounded like he had no idea what to say but decided to say it over and over again.

Interesting enough, I could almost read the whole thing the first time. If you threw in the missing letters, I think it would be even easier (I read the jumbled up sentence in the story post with little problem). I'm not sure if this type of finding will revolutionize anything, but it is kind of interesting to see. I know a special ed instructor I had (in college) showed us once how he could hold up a sign with the word the repeated twice, and almost everyone read it without catching it. It's kind of amazing what we do automatically without deep, serious thought.
Julie Cheville, an assistant professor of literacy education at Rutgers University and the local director for the National Writing Project, which promotes professional development for writing teachers, is among those skeptical of such an approach. "To be scored, writing needs to be formulaic, and formulaic writing has never been the trademark of effective writers," she said. "At the moment, what automated scoring technologies can do is scan, count and score. They orient students to errors, not to meaning. Vacuous student essays can receive high marks only because they are error-free."
I think this is something important to keep in mind. As a math teacher, there are plenty of tools that can help students find errors in what they are doing mathematically, but there's a line between doing correct mathematics and insightful/interesting/useful mathematics. This technology definitely has its place and can be useful, but I hope educators don't get the idea that they can simply rely on the tool. Weilded correctly, it could do great good, but also leave a lot of students with "vacuous" levels of understanding.

From dictionary.com:
A generalized statement that describes what is true in most or all cases
Notice the word statement in the definition? "Rules are forbidden" is in fact a statement.

Wait... but that statement is a rule itself! So that's a contradiction so there must be atleast one rule.
